This car has been a faithful daily driver since I've acquired it, but personal circumstances require a sale of this vehicle. Car has all original panels including matching VIN's all around. Paint is in decent shape with cosmetic wear and tear normal for a car this age. Car is otherwise mechanically solid and bulletproof. No expense has been spared on repairs and maintenance. Over $1,500 spent in maintenance to bring the car up to tip top shape in the last two months alone. The list below speaks volumes -- every potential mechanical weakness has been addressed in the last 15k miles. Car pulls hard, shifts cleanly, burns no oil. Prior owner verified AWD using the jack test. Car passed CA smog, one of the most stringent in the nation, with flying colors a little over a month ago. There is a bit of rust near the doors and sunroof, and rear valance has a bit of rash from a prior owners' carelessness (all as pictured). Heated seats are in great condition and work perfectly. The A/C blows cold all day long. At this point, the car needs nothing to keep it running for a long time. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country in a heartbeat. Right before the car was listed, a rock caused the windshield to develop a crack. Since some bidders may choose to drive this car back and may prefer to install a new windshield themselves when they arrive home, I offer the winning bidder the option of either a new windshield installed for free prior to pick-up or a credit of $200 against the winning bid price. Title is clear and in hand.
